TOPTICA Photonics Workshop: Catch Me if You Can–1001 Ways to Lock a Laser

Quantum technologies are among the most exciting and challenging scientific endeavors. Most experiments heavily rely on the possibility to stabilize the absolute and relative phase and frequency of lasers. In this workshop we give an overview of the possible schemes to lock a laser´s phase and frequency. We’ll start with an outline of general principles of phase and frequency stabilization, and then we’ll move on to provide a guide on how to choose the right locking solution for individual applications. Concrete solutions based on TOPTICA products will be presented. And that’s not all! Be ready for the world premiere of a new TOPTICA product. Hint: It enables locking like never before.
